Question: If I read a book on my Kindle Fire, will I be "asking for it" in terms of being the victim of a crime? Or am I safe to do so on the bus?
I'm assuming both legs will be SMART? Kindle will be fine. In fact, morning on the Woodward SMART bus resembles a functioning city. Very diverse and chilled. 9 and Woodward is probably one of the nicest transit 'dwells' in the region, so that's cool too.

Be sure to know the 'peak times' when the SMART bus does actually go downtown.

9 and Woodward is probably one of the nicest transit 'dwells' in the region, so that's a bonus.
